Hey guys I just got a BTA (green with purple foot) and today is the first day with it and it has this purple looking slime coming off of it, is this normal or does this mean the nem threw up its guts and its on the way out?? Thanks, any input is appreciated

Yeah that's... that's really bad. That anemone is going to die if the conditions don't change. Either that, or if it was shipped and arrived like that, it might already be too late.

Doesn’t look good. Looks like it’s almost dead-

tank looks very new. I would check and post all water parameters here so someone can have more information to give you a better answer.

temp, salinity, alk, cal, Mag, no3, po4, ph

how old is the tank

what kind of lighting are you running.

these answers may help to get you the answer you need.
